This is a cute, fun read. There's a little bit of a dark element to the book and I still haven't decided if the author knows she's writing something very lighthearted and low stakes, or if she is trying to go for a more dark fantasy vibe. The series doesn't seem to commit either way. This book felt a bit less cozy than the first one but also not tense, scary, or suspenseful at all. It also dragged a little bit. But overall enjoyable.
